Nintendo stops support for NES et al

While Microsoft has already stopped supporting Windows 98 for quite some time already, you’ll be surprised to know that Nintendo has just pulled the plug where support for the NES, SNES, N64, Gameboy, and the Gameboy Pocket after all these decades. It is pretty interesting to note that up through last week, it is still possible to send your creaking NES system to Nintendo for a full factory repair. Talk about an amazing level of service that other companies would do well to emulate, where support for legacy devices are crucial to maintaining customer loyalty. Drats, looks like I have to take better care of my monochrome LCD Gameboy from now onwards.
